Composition of Cream.

Cream varies in composition according
to the circumstances under which it is
produced, and as a consequence of these
differences in the composition of cream
variable quantities OF butter are produced
from a given bulk of cream. The value
of milk, then, for butter making cannot
be determined simply from the percent
age Of cream thrown up. The butter
whey must be obtained by churning the
cream.

having tired her in the least. These
drives and walks are good for the health
of course, and tho young ladies are inn
itating Mrs. Cleveland in both particu-
lars. There are more commonsense
heavy shoes sold to young ladies this fall
than ever before in the history Of WASH
ington city. They arc wearing them,
walking everywhere, in twos and in
crowds. 1t is a good thing for tho girls,
and will be a good thing for the babies
which will some day call them mother.
If for no other reason than that she
teaches the young ladies the value of
physical exercise, Mrs. Cleveland should
be commended for her habits. Her open
air goings and comings are always COM
mendablc, and they arc always watched
and initiated by oshers. This is q re-
public and we are proud OF it and con-
stantly Boosting of our freedom from
caste and class distinctions. but there
will always prevail q spirit of acknowl-
edgement Of superiority and i%nferiority,
and certain grades Of intellect will wor-
ship and initiate the higher types. It is
we'll that this is SO, for it always brings
with it race improvements. The ladies
of the white house have always been
good typical American women, except
in one rare instance. The one exception
was ola woman whose mind was un
balanced, hence she was not herself.
Fortunately for the country, fortunately
for his own sake. fortunately for his
party, too, Grover Cleveland made
no mistake in tho selection ola wife.
While it is probable that Francis Fol-
som, al the wife ola village gentleman,
would never haye been known to fame

THE FORT SMITH ROBBERY
HAWKINS CORLEY, DEPUTY
COUNTY TREASURER,
Headed the Gang who Robbed HIS
once OF 81. 300 in February
Last-At Large.

Fort SMITH, ARK June 4.-Hsw-
kins Corley, deputy county treasurer
Of Logan county, was brought here
today by Detective Clay for robbing
the safe of the Logan county treasury.
The robbery took place on the 18th OF
February and detectives have been
working up the csse ever since until
the guilt has been finally ssttl"d on
Hawkins Core Hiram aud JEFF. Fort
and Heary Nichols, Of Paris, Logan
county. The circumstances If the
robbing are as follows: The Fort boys
aud Nichols induced Hawkins to as.
certain how much money the sheriff
had collected for t. xss. The sheriff
told him, but as a precautionary
measure, sent the money to Little Rock
and deposited it there. The robbers
were not advised of this, however,
and going to The sheriff's Office blew
open his safe, but found 1t empty.
They then opened the treasurer's safe,
robbed it of $1l 200, broke the lock to
pieces, and sati'fied that they had
covered up their tracks they remained
ct Paris and seemed to feel confident
that their crime would not be un-
eaIthed. Great excitement prevails,
for theee men are all we'll connected
and heretofore stood we'll in the COM
munily. The Fort boys are on bond,
Nichols ia at large sand Hawkins is
now in the United States Jail at this
place.

IN CHIC

There are two names uppermost in the
minds Of men. One Of them IL that OF
Thurman, the gfeat lawyer, the great
man, the great Democrat. Open as
the day, he has had no concern about
his career. He has lived his life like an
honest man, fearless Ct consequences,
careless az to results. He has al.
ways felt that like begetting like he was
safe. What he.had done could bring no
evil to him. He has always been cheer
ful, self Contained and eatitfied. Not
30 with John Sherman. He has nc.
quiied with the Republican party Of
Ohio q character as q leader that,
though 1t Is disputed by able and
better men, enables him to
make statements as facts
that are lies, deliberate and bold. No
man Of his standing in any political
party, at any time in the history Of
the Republic, ever strung together 30
many ialsehoods as he has done In
bis Springfield speech; no man pre-
tending TO be a statesman has ever put
together 80 many lies, or attempted so
bsrefaced a traduotion Of whole Sec
ton. As between him and Thurman,
no man in Ohio should hesitate mo-
ment. The one is frankne,s itself, the
other Is a sneak too contemplate for a
moments consideration. He is a
Sherman.

nothing could be more unnecessary or
absurd than to exclude the Scottish
members. II such an idea ia also ex.
istent in Wales, there is ground to
give to the desire for union whatever

In his afternoon speech Mr.. Glad
stone dwelt largely upon the historical
question in view, showing that though
the Welsh were q distiL CT nationality,
It was in no way inconsistent that
there should be perfect, harmonious
union with England. He advised
Wales to psy greater attention to
bringing Der requirements before Par
lament. Welshmen, he said, had
hitherto been too silent Ia regard to
IT, dissstablishment of the church,
that, he said, was a question for de-
cision by themselves.

REGIONAL BITTERNESS.

Every good man prays that since
slavery has come to an end, sectional
ism also shall be put away forever.
There is no political opinion that will
Justify geographical difference;
therefore, the man who makes an
attempt in that direction must
be thoroughly bad man;
he must be a man with purely per-
sonsl purpose, man who sets his
own ambition above the necessities or
conditions Of the people, man who is
a seHs al sneak aud a coward. Such g
man il John Sherman. He made a
speech in Na,hville to win the ex.
Coniederates TO his robber platform
Of protection, and In Springfield, ILL.,,
be made a speech 30 bitter, 30 hostile
TO the South and Southern people as to
surprise and dumiound even the
Southern protection leaders in Nash

John SHERMAN


Ia full of bitterness. He Ia full OF the
gall OF sectlonalism. He cares moth
ing for the Union. He cares nothing
for the peace or the stability OF the
Republic. Like a ruffian, brute
with a we'll ascertsined strength,
he asserts himself with Bit
terness. A self confessed liar,
no spoke ia Nashville in words
honeyed over with sweetness to win
the ex.Confederate blacEsmiths who
have manufactures, and in Springfield,
Ill, in words so bitter with the gall OF
sectionaliam that even the moderate
Republicans must protest. Deceit
and lying and political cowardice could
no further 20. He did not
dare to say in Nashville
that Mr.. Cleveland owed his election
to "murder, arson, ballot box slutiing,
forgery and perjury," and that "ln
this way the second rebellion OF the
Democratic party is success" But
he said 1t in Springfield. In Illinois
Senator Sherman was an honest man
in Tennessee he was a sneRk-not q
ounniug but contemplate sneak; q
cowsrdly sneak who, while he con-
coded the bravery and rectitude
Of purpose that animated the
Confederate soldier, held him
up as a pirate and citizen not to b.
trunted. In this Sherman proves him
self to be what we have always regard
ed him-a contemplate sneak and .
political coward, who has some abil
lily in politics, but otherwise Ia be
meath the notice or attention OF Re
publicans or Democrats. His speech
(prlnted on the twelfth page) Is a wid'
contrast with that which he made a.
Nashville to catch Southern votes. i
is the honest utterance Of his heart
What he said in Nashville. every
word Of it, was deliberate and pur
posed lie. Judged by his Nashville
speech, Senator John Sherman is
contemplate liar, unfit to engage the
attention Of men; he Is a sneak,
coward who wears q. mask and who Ia
all things to all men.

WINE TIE SCULPTURES.

On the sixth p lgo we publish Tart OF
q paper by the Rev. j. r. Skies that
will arrest attention. The purpose Of it
is plain. II the Bible is to be &C.
cepted as an entirety, il it is indeed
the Word of God, no part Of
1t can be rel cied to sustain
q within, prejudice or q
purpose personal To fanatics.
A Christian minister or member OF a
branch Of the Christian Church must
take the Bible as a whole, entire, com.
plete, or, accepting a par! and rtjecting
ano her part, must expect that Others,
with only a personal or individual au-
thority rejecting what they consider
to be opposed to their doxy, will
set an example fatal to the
divine authority OF the "Book Of
books" II IL is Gods word it must
not be curtailed or uninterrupted. II
1t Is moi, 1t matters little what men do
with it to streng hen their fsnatiCism
and break down its purpose Of unity
in letter and In spirit. The Bible is
true or II Is not true, II is the word Of
God or 1t 10 not. II 1t is the word Of
God, the texts quoted on the sixth
page are OF binding force on every one
who calls himself q Christian.
